Re: NEW site, live 3 weeks looking for feedback

my thoughts include, do not use the search feature as the only way to navigate your site. Put a real menu on it.

Do not rely on flash.

some knives you sell may be illegal in some municipalities, you may want to identify them or post a warning notice on the front page about this.

Generally your front page is confusing. Says the same things too many times. Not easy to navigate.

the home button does not take you home. It goes to the catalog page.

the two click here buttons are too large and the how to one is not necessary since it is already on the banner. Use the space for a larger example. The small examples at the bottom gets lost. It is the top of the page people will look at first then they get lazy as they work their way down.

Do you really need that second welcome banner?

You may want to consider fixing it so when a product is clicked on, it opens a new window or tab instead of over the current window.

In your item descriptions - break it up using paragraphs. One large paragraph is hard to read.

Your registration pages are not secured not (not using https). Since it is personal info, you may want to make your customers feel their personal info is secured.

No privacy statement for the personal data submitted for registration

Overall view, if I were looking for a custom designed knife, I would most likely bypass your site.

Sorry, but the above are my honest opinions,

one more thing, I tried your pages in five different browsers, the pages I checked did not break - and that is very good.
